Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are reportedly all set to come back to Neighbours for a 'fairytale ending' after it was announced the soap was being cancelled.
Australian newspaper Herald Sun reported the finale will be a "fairytale ending" for the characters, who shot to fame after stealing viewers hearts on the Down Under soap.
Neighbours has been cancelled after an impressive 40 years on screens, after airing its first episode in 1985, and is expected to finish in August 2022 - just weeks before celebrating another milestone anniversary.
Pop sensation Kylie, 53, and Jason, also 53, reportedly filmed scenes for the soap last week as they gear up to reprise their iconic roles s as Charlene Mitchell and Scott Robinson for a special appearance, writes the Mirror.
The shoot is said to have taken place at Pin Oak Court in Vermont South, a suburb of Melbourne.
The soap has seen some of the world's biggest stars make their acting debut, from Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth.
A spokesperson for Channel 5 said of the axing: "Neighbours will no longer air on Channel 5 beyond this summer.
"It’s been a much-loved part of our schedule for more than a decade, and we’d like to thank the cast, Fremantle and all of the production team for their fantastic work on this iconic series.
"We’d also of course like to thank the fans for their loyal support of Neighbours across the years.
"We recognise that there will be disappointment about this decision, however our current focus is on increasing our investment in original UK drama, which has strong appeal for our viewers."
It is believed there is a gap in revenue of millions of pounds from what the show makes in advertising and what it costs to produce.
"Channel 5 pay Fremantle Australia many millions of pounds every year and, sadly, there’s a shortfall of about £5million in what it brings back in through advertising," a source previously explained to The Sun.
"There’s a lot of disbelief and sadness among those who know it’s ending. They are currently in the process of approaching a number of former cast members, including Kylie, to make a special return."
The insider added: "Now it’s the end, it really would be something special to have her back in Ramsay Street one last time."
